Chapter 864 I Don't Care (12)

With a flash of sword light, Chu Yuntian was lowered from the stone pillar.

Although it was meaningless, she still subconsciously touched her slender wrist, and after seeing the marks left by the Soul-Suppressing Lock on her wrist, she said, "Disgusting."

"What disgusts you?" Yun Jianhua asked coldly.

“My current body disgusts me. As a member of the Chu family, greatness has always been our pursuit. Unfortunately, it’s easy for the blood and qi in the physical body to accumulate, but it’s very difficult to achieve greatness in the primordial spirit. Every time I see the true body behind the blood and qi, I feel genuinely disgusted.”

"Weird."

"It's none of your business to judge me, you siscon. What do you want from me today? You think I died too easily, so you've come to the underworld to kill me again? Come to think of it, as a dark siscon, you want to kill everyone who has bullied your sister, right?"

“I wish I could, but unfortunately you were ranked quite far back, and I was discovered before I could even kill you. Lin Yuan said he understood my feelings, but the war was over, and we couldn’t just kill prisoners indiscriminately at this point. As punishment, I have now been dispatched to the underworld as a judge here, specifically to deal with the primordial spirits of you aristocratic families.”

Chu Yuntian then noticed that Yun Jianhua was dressed in a black judge's robe, but with the Yun family's Cloud Sword hanging at his waist, which looked somewhat incongruous.

Chu Yuntian sneered and said, "To make a sword cultivator a judge in the local government, it's truly amazing that Lin Yuan could come up with such a thing."

“I’m also wondering, but since Senior Lin has said so, there must be a reason. Stop talking and come here.”

Silently following behind Yun Jianhua, Chu Yuntian entered the Yama Palace and found that it had changed.

The underworld is the most exclusive place in this world.

This place used to be the territory of the Star Lords, who took turns ruling this place, presiding over reincarnation, and charging people to buy life.

Therefore, they would not accept anything new, since new things meant change, and that the cultivators' primordial spirits responsible for helping would gain some power, which was something they could not tolerate.

The fact that a high temple priest shared power with the heavens already annoyed them, so naturally they were unwilling to share other powers with others.

Not only have all the Star Lords perished, but all the resistance above has also disappeared, making change happen very easily and spreading to every corner of the Underworld.

The biggest change is the widespread use of non-swords.

Although the Star Lord's vast willpower was no longer available to process documents, the widespread use of the Sword of Non-Sword made up for this. The convenient recording methods and easy communication tools made office work exceptionally easy, and many things could be responded to in the blink of an eye.

In order to adapt to the working methods of the Underworld, the Non-Sword Sect has also made special modifications for the Underworld, including but not limited to establishing a private communication network, a dedicated storage area, and convenient resurrection applications.

A cultivator who dies unexpectedly only needs to write down the cause of their death through a fixed channel, and then a cultivator will help verify it. If there are no problems, they can be revived within fifteen working days, and the whole process is free.

According to Lin Yuan, this job is as simple as filing an individual income tax return, and any sword cultivator can master it skillfully.

Seeing the people of the Underworld each possess a jade slip and constantly using the Fei Sword to handle official business, Chu Yuntian remained silent for a long time before asking himself a question:
Why didn't I think of this before, since it's so convenient without a sword?
If I had realized this sooner, many communication methods within the Chu family would have been more convenient, and it would have been easier for the family members to apply for various benefits.

The power space belonging to the elders will be smaller. Although it cannot be completely eliminated, it will greatly compress the living space of the gray industry and allow resources to flow more effectively in the right direction.

But what did they do with non-swords?
Thinking of this, Chu Yuntian's resentment subsided somewhat, replaced by a sigh: "The Chu family's defeat was not unjust."

"You're only realizing this now?" Yun Jianhua sneered. "That's why I said following my sister was the right thing to do. Look at me, how decisive I was, killing the whole family in time, and now we're all out of the woods."

"You're just lucky, a fool." "But you, you idiot, aren't."

At this moment, Chu Yuntian began to regret not marrying Yun Jianhua into the Chu family sooner.

Otherwise, she could have just crushed him to death.

She turned her face away, not wanting to talk to this bastard, but before she could reach the end of the road, she couldn't help but ask, "Where are you taking me?"

"Judgment."

"Judgment? Aren't all the Star Lords dead? Who will judge me?"

After glancing at Chu Yuntian, Yun Jianhua said, "Is judgment such an inconvenient thing? Besides, as you've seen, the Star Lord is gone, but the Underworld is still functioning perfectly well, isn't it? Alright, we've arrived."

Walking out into the white light, Chu Yuntian found himself on a circular stone platform.

In front of her, Zhong Huai sat in the head seat, with a cultivator on his left and the right seat empty.

In addition, around the circle, a large number of cultivators' primordial spirits gathered, seemingly anticipating the arrival of judgment.

Then, Yun Jianhua stepped forward, stood in front of Zhong Huai, and said, "Mr. Zhong, the person has been brought."

"Thank you for your hard work, please take a seat."

Because Yun Jianxian had been taken care of by Zhong Huai for a period of time, he and Yun Jianhua had a good personal relationship. The two often ate oranges and chatted, exchanging their cultivation experiences.

However, at this moment, the two seemed not to know each other, their businesslike demeanor carrying a sense of distance.

As a master of creating atmosphere, Chu Yuntian immediately realized that this sense of alienation was intentionally created.

The two people's performance created a sense of dislocation, detached from reality. This unfamiliarity, in turn, deepened the atmosphere and made the place more formal.

As Zhong Huai bowed to the statue of Cyber ​​Star Lord above his head, Chu Yuntian immediately felt the Star Lord's gaze descend upon him, making the place even more sacred.

"Chu Yuntian".

Upon hearing his name, Chu Yuntian paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "It's me."

Zhong Huai flipped through Fei Jian's notes and then said, "According to the investigation, the Chu family's crimes include, but are not limited to, using entertainment as a cover to promote unhealthy body-cultivation ideas, and secretly killing countless cultivators through acupuncture. Furthermore, for many years they have been using bribery and other means to get upper-realm cultivators to endorse the Chu family and promote the theory that acupuncture is harmless. In addition, they have been secretly researching various pupa-man techniques, completely crossing the bottom line for cultivators. Are you aware of these things?"

After a moment of silence, Chu Yuntian nodded and said, "I know. But as a junior member of the Chu family, I cannot change these things."

Please tell the truth.

After a brief silence, Chu Yuntian looked at the three of them and said quietly, "I know, but I don't care."

A murmur of surprise rippled through the audience.
